Chapter 958: Thunderbolt
Lin Zhixuan can almost imagine Wei Yanxian's intentions, now that the Li family has taken refuge in the emperor, the emperor wants to give the Li family a chance to show his loyalty, and the other is to make the Lin family's people die convincingly, and want to calm down the discussions in the court.
After all, now he is still weak, and it is not easy to fight hard with Wei Yingxiang, and there are still a lot of constraints on him in the court.
Besides, the Lin family's affairs, he only clicked on him twice, and he was able to connect with Xie Wenliang's bombardment of Fuchengmen, and it was rare to handle both things so appropriately.
Wei Yanxian came to Yikun Palace for dinner tonight, but he didn't order anyone to spread the word before he came, and when he came, Lin Zhixuan and Sister Xin had already moved their chopsticks.
Wei Yanxian looked proud, and he didn't have any scruples, he just cleaned his hands and sat down together. Wei Yanxian looked at Lin Zhixuan, who was eating at a table, and suddenly asked: "I don't know the food in this palace, Princess Jing is still used to eating." ”
This kind of smiling face is welcome, there is a lot less rebelliousness in the past, and more treacherous in Lin Zhixuan's familiar past life. made Lin Zhixuan feel a little palpitational, but now, Lin Zhixuan is not very afraid of him, time has changed, and she is not the original self.
Lin Zhixuan was not shocked: "Thank you for the emperor's care, you can still enter." ”
Sister Xin always remembered Lin Zhixuan's advice to her just now, she originally planned to ask to see Wei Yanxian after dinner, but now that Wei Yanxian is here, Sister Xin couldn't help but open her mouth first: "I heard today that the emperor's generals from the Lin family and the king of Sujun have been imprisoned, I don't know what the emperor plans to do with them?"
Wei Yanxian's eyes were always staring at Lin Zhixuan, and said, "Naturally, I want to behead them all!"
Lin Zhixuan's face did not fluctuate, but Sister Xin hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, King Sujun is your own brother, if you want to destroy his full family, aren't you also his closest relative?"
Besides, there is also the Duke of Zhenguo, if the emperor insists on moving him, I am afraid that Prince Zhuang will not agree. The emperor is now in the court, there are already many enemies, and now taking advantage of the fourteenth prince to fight the enemy outside, the emperor should take this opportunity to give grace to others, instead of making many enemies. ”
Wei Yanxian was moved by Sister Xin'er's few reasonable words, and his eyes were also taken back from Lin Zhixuan's body, he looked at Sister Xin a little seriously, waved his hand, and drove out all the people who were waiting in the house, before he said in a deep voice: "However, the Lin family knows that secret, if I spare their lives, it is difficult to guarantee the future, they will not reveal this secret!"
Sister Xin said earnestly: "Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of the concubines, the Lin family may not know the beginning and end of this secret, although the Lin family caught Meng Jianqiu, but Meng Jianqiu didn't seem to confide the truth to them. This secret is directed at the emperor and the prince, if the people of the Lin family knew about it earlier, there would be no need for them to hide it at all, and it would be more beneficial for them to publicize it.
However, they just bluffed, saying that they knew the secret, but no one ever said what the secret was, even today, at the last moment, they only said the rumor that the emperor might not be the son of the first queen, but they didn't say a word.
It can be seen that the Lin family actually doesn't know the truth. Otherwise, if there is anything to say, it should have been said a long time ago, and there is no need to keep it again. ”
Calm down and think about it, in fact, Sister Xin has a point, her actions today are indeed too aggressive, fortunately, the Lin family doesn't know the whole story, otherwise, she would be lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot today.
Sister Xin looked at Wei Yanxian and was moved, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said without hurrying: "If the emperor feels that the Lin family and the king of Sujun have been disobedient for so many years, then kill the adult men immediately, the old and weak women and children, and the emperor will take care of the new funeral of the empress dowager, be merciful, and spare their lives." It is also a show of kindness to the people and a manifestation of the emperor's benevolence.
The emperor did not have a major fault in the past, so Prince Jing did not have any legitimate reason to replace him. If it is just now that he is in power, he will kill like this, and the concubines are afraid that the subjects will criticize the emperor, and Prince Jing will also use this as an excuse to cause trouble. ”
Sister Xin'er's words are reasonable and intimate.
The smug look on Wei Yanxian's face also disappeared, and he fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at Lin Zhixuan and said, "Sister Xin doesn't have so much thought, and she doesn't understand political affairs, you taught her." ”
Lin Zhixuan only ate quietly and did not answer.
Wei Yanxian was a little annoyed in his heart, was he really so useless?
Not only is it not as good as Wei Mingxu, but even his princess is not as good as it.
"Don't forget, your mother's family is also surnamed Lin!"
When Lin Zhixuan heard this, she finally put down the spoon, looked at Wei Yanxian and said, "The Mu family just changed their surname on their own initiative, and they did not join the Lin family, so they are not a family." Besides, the two families are already relatives of the five suits. Even if the emperor wants to destroy the nine clans of the Mu family, he will not be able to implicate the mother family of the concubine. Besides, the Lin family and I are one, and there is no difference between the emperor moving my mother's family and moving me, in the eyes of the prince. ”
Wei Yanxian was speechless for a while, and he didn't continue to eat, but just got up angrily and left.
Li Miaosheng is still quite efficient in investigating the case, when he originally returned to Wei Mingxu, he had a lot of evidence of the Lin family's rebellion in his hands, and now with Xie Wenliang's help, he is like a tiger.
In just two days, the evidence of the crime was presented.
It's just that Wei Yanxian also seemed to follow Sister Xin'er's advice, and just dismissed Wei Yingwu, the prince of Zhenguo, from his military power, and handed them over to the military department. demoted the Duke of Zhenguo back to Hangzhou, continued to be his auxiliary Duke of the Kingdom, and was never allowed to enter Beijing.
has already given Wei Yingxiang enough face. Wei Yingxiang didn't say anything more.
As for the Sujun Palace, Wei Yanxian only demoted them to concubines, and Wei Yanting and his wife and children were all forbidden to the Zongren Mansion several times, and no one was allowed to visit, and they were never allowed to come out.
In the Lin family, adult men are all decided. The old, weak, women and children were all sold into slavery. He shall not be an official for eternity, and he shall not change his slave status.
Zhuang Xihan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, in the name of disrespecting the emperor and the empress dowager, was sentenced to be beheaded, confiscated the family property, and his wife and daughter were sent back to their hometowns, and they were never allowed to enter Beijing, and their descendants were never hired.
The old party of the Lin family was completely wiped out by Wei Yanxian, and told Li Miaosheng to continue to investigate, but anyone who had the slightest relationship with the Lin family, but anyone who had different intentions towards him must all be found out.
Li Miaosheng can't, now that Li Qi has betrayed Wei Mingxu, since they have no choice, they can only follow Wei Yanxian on this road for so long, going farther and farther.
